Tiny Shelter Kittens Compete for Title of Cutest Climber
There may never be anything in the entire world as cute as kittens. The spunky little balls of adorable energy have a way of capturing the attention of literally anyone just by doing cute kitten things. For one inspired trio of shelter kittens, that means showing off their epic climbing skills in an attempt to be seen, heard, and most of all, loved.
@animalfriendsalliance Replying to @98kreB we do have some lobby music, but you can definitely hear them yelling a little better! #kittens

You don't need to fully hear their meows to know there are two clear winners and one runner-up here! It makes sense that the chattier 2/3 are Black Cats, because they're notorious for their near-constant vocalizations.
If anyone could see these three, see their escape attempts, and keep walking, they're a lot stronger than me because I'd be going home with three new fur children! I can't resist a teeny-tiny, itty-bitty kitty-especially when they're doing this much work for attention!

Adopt Your Own Cute Climbing Kitten (or Cat)
It warms my heart to know that these three adorable kittens have all been adopted into their forever homes. But that doesn't mean the party's over! There are plenty of other cats with just as much charisma and pizzazz to fill any family's home with pure joy.
Some may be a little older or a lot louder, but adopting a shelter cat or kitten is one of the greatest things you can do-not only for them, but for you. Can you imagine waking up to the most delightful little baby every single day?!
